 * and valid input which iconv refuses to transliterate.
 * We convert from UTF-8 twice, because we have no way of
 * knowing whether the conversion was exact if iconv returns
 * E2BIG (due to a bug in the specification of iconv).
 * An alternative approach is to assume that the output of
 * iconv is never more than 4 times as long as the input,
 * but I prefer to avoid that assumption if possible.
